Celebrate the joys and the difficulties of being a woman by indulging your time reading one of these brilliant essays.

We like to think God made Eve after he figured Adam needed some major improvements. It is a glorious time to be a woman today, where we are free to use our voices. However, we can’t say we don’t face problems like prejudice and self-image issues.

If you do need that pick me up right now, you don’t have to try to sort through all the garbage on the Internet to find these gems. We’ve already done it for you. Here are 7 essays by women (and one honourary woman) that we feel every woman should take the time to read and even revisit.
